About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Secret Moonflower Garden. When Ruqqayyah finds herself wishing for more — more toys, more treats, more of everything her cousin seems to have — she stumbles upon a hidden gate that only opens beneath the moonlight. Inside waits a garden unlike any other, tended by a kind old keeper and guarded by a single silver seed that refuses to bloom no matter how hard Ruqqayyah tries. By the end, she learns that the moonflower isn't waiting for the right soil or the right season — it's waiting for a thankful heart. And once she finds hers, the whole garden begins to glow.
